Why Maintaining Your Commercial Heater Is Important

With the weather making a quick turn to cooler temperatures, the time to think about your business’s heating system is now. Is it prepared to get through the entire heating season, and keep your employees, guests, or tenants comfortable while performing efficiently to boot? Without professional commercial HVAC maintenance, you’ll have no way of knowing that.

Maintenance is one of those services that homeowners are
often quick to dismiss, and sometimes even skip. But if you’re a business owner
or property manager, skipping really isn’t an option. No matter the size or
function of your business, having a fully functioning heater this time of the
year is imperative.

“Is Commercial Heating Maintenance Really That Important?”

We get it. We run a business as well—we understand that with
that comes busy-ness and plenty to worry about. Scheduling an HVAC service that
you may not need right at this very
moment is likely to fall low on the priority list—perhaps you even see it as a
waste of time and money. But the thing is, commercial heating maintenance is
less about solving a current issue and more about preventing future problems.

Commercial HVAC maintenance generally takes about 1-2 hours per unit—however, if you have a packaged or rooftop unit, you won’t need to worry about us being in the way or disrupting your business. During your maintenance appointment, our professional technicians thoroughly clean and adjust the interior of the heating system, and inspect it for any pending or potential future problems. The maintenance inspection includes:

Ensuring the air filters aren’t too dirty or
clogged (It’s best if these are changed every few months, rather than waiting
for maintenance, but we will check this).

Lubricating moving parts to make sure they function
as they should.

Conducting a safety check in order to protect
your commercial space and everyone in it.

Tightening electrical connections and checking
on the refrigerant charge (levels).

If our technicians come across any areas of your commercial
HVAC system that need repairs to lessen the impact of a worsening problem or a
drop in system efficiency, we’ll let you know right away and help you arrange
for necessary repairs.
